I like the 3rd BMD design.

Rail looks great, I like the extended section, the QD sling mounts and the narrow cross section.

Scount mount is just perfect for an Inforce WMLX. Not that I'd ever need one.

Need some imaginative cof's that include use of illumination, or mini rifle night shoots.

Lots of bmd testing to do too just to see what works best.

Are the BMD's made from stainless steel and can you confirm what the combined weight is of the BMD and the muzzle break?

Don't have a final weight and material choice yet. Looking at a number of options including Ti.

When we have that figured out ill let you know right away.

Many thanks, it looks a great product and I can't help but admire the design of the handgaurd as well.
I would be interested to see what effect the BMD has on the balance and handling of the rifle when fitted to a 14 1/2" barrel.

Thanks :)

Weight is my primary concern. The brake comes in at 3.2oz. We are testing diffuser patterns on the BMD to see what works the best. This will effect final weight as will material choice, at the end of the day.
After we have a high round count through the device we can examine wear and it may be we can reduce wall thickness to lose some weight too.
